Date women from Canada / Ontario / Toronto, 51 year old

Date a woman from Canada. I am very intelligent, loving, supportive, a bit reserved initially, fun and funny, sophisticated, worldly yet down to earth and unpretentious, confident but not arrogant and well travelled with a great sense of style...or so I am told and hopefully they aren't lying . I believe it is always better to be kind than right. I practice what it means to possess depth of character and grace and as a result have achieved much success both professionally and personally. I have an aversion for prejudice of any sort and I appreciate diversity. It's what makes life interesting. I have a rewarding career working with individuals with special needs. Helping others gives my life added meaning and purpose. I also have had arthritis since the age of 18 so the man in my life would need to be accepting and understanding of this fact and appreciate me for all that I have accomplished and overcome. He will love me because of it not despite it. I am a self reflective person, know what truly matters, have a willingness to learn, and there is nothing I like more than getting together with friends, engaging in philosophical discussion and healthy debate. Honesty and integrity are my two greatest qualities and are what I admire most in others as well. My family and friends are of the utmost importance to me. I am an eternal optimist and when I look into a person's eyes I am searching for the essence of who they are. I believe we are all connected. I work out, and am fit and lead a healthy lifestyle. I own my own home, am a freelance writer, collect quotes and have a passion for the written word. I love the critical comedy of George Carlin, the subversive angst of Bill Maher, 70's rock music, and singing out loud in my car. I love art galleries and museums but also enjoy the outdoors. I appreciate fine dining and a nice pinot noir but I also love pizza. I enjoy high fashion but am most comfortable in jeans. I truly have what I consider to be a beautiful and balanced life and I am looking for someone with similar interests and lifestyle to compliment it. I know what I want but even more important I know what I don't want. I have a lot of love, care and support for the right man. I could give you a long laundry list outlining the qualities and attributes of my ideal mate but feel that such an endeavor would read as superficial and I am quite the opposite. Although some things are concrete and others are intangible, he will definitely be an intelligent gentleman, of good moral fibre with a kind heart who is desiring and ready to build a committed relationship. He will be a sweet and empathetic person. I am sure of one thing...."I will know him when I meet him". Best wishes to all!
ps. although I have never been married I was in a long term relationship, very similar to a marriage. I do not have children but welcome them into my life wholeheartedly if my partner does.

Meet someone special from Canada. I'm an attractive, successful and intelligent executive who is financially secure and looking for someone to help me unwind at the end of the day over a nice glass of wine. I'm in great shape, physically active and can be very passionate with the right person. We both are mature enough and confident enough to know what we want and will take the time to find someone that creates that special spark. It starts with physical attraction, chemistry is important. Part of chemistry is also about intellectual and emotional depth...we do need to talk at some point! :)
I'm looking for someone who is equally successful, attractive, in good shape and very confident and comfortable with who they are. Please no high maintenance guys as I'm not high maintenance. I like a guy with a bit of an edge, is spontaneous, loves adventure and willing to try and explore new things. Someone who takes pride in their appearance and doesn't take themselves too seriously...laughs out loud.
If you love the outdoors and love being casual at the end of the day, then that's great.
I'm looking for someone to spend time with over dinner, wine, patios, golfing, skiing, scuba diving, biking..whatever. I love to cook, love flowers, a garden, fresh herbs. I love my two kids..grown up now and finding their way.
My professional life requires discretion which is why I don't post any photos. If you think we might have fun together let me know and I will send you all the photos you want. L

Date a soulmate from Canada. I would describe myself as someone who is warm, outgoing, generous and fun to be with. Laughter is a key component to my happiness. I have a wide network of friends and family and have an active business and social life. I have 2 great children (young adults) who are strong, confident and forging their places in the world. My job is demanding and occupies much of my time, but I try hard to keep a balance. I am comfortable in many situations and with many people and tend to connect easily. I do enjoy the finer things in life (travel, good wine!) but am also happy to sit around a camp-fire and debate issues of the day. I would like to find someone to share social time, good conversation and in the long-term perhaps a lasting relationship if it's right. Although I have not posted pictures, I am willing to share one on one. My perfect date would be a strong, independent, fun-loving and outgoing man who is not immediately looking for a long-term commitment.

Meet a woman from Toronto, Canada. I am an independent person, with active and sometimes busy life.
I am trying to find a special man, who is happy/content with his own life, and has interest and time for a relationship.
I am looking for a man / A partner to make plans with , to confide in, to travel with to laugh with. A man, who is enjoying an active life, and wants to share part of his life with me, to ski, travel, walk, have dinner, make dinner, drink wine, enjoy the day, watch movies, laugh, share friends and more.

Date someone special from Toronto, Canada. If you are an honest man ready for an "exclusive" long-term relationship with a woman of substance, then I would like to hear from you. I am a divorced Peruvian lady with no children, sensitive, passionate and strong to the world but vulnerable in my own space and time. A fun-loving woman always surrounded with good friends.... I'm a huge music fan and love to be close to water. I guess water has to be part of my life because I was raised near the ocean. I also enjoy curling up with a good book. I have no expectations when I go on a date. Just go out and have some fun, good conversation and see where it goes from there. I am very straight forward and tell people exactly how and who I am. I am not into any head games, lies, or one night stands. I want a man who is not into the games or any of that, who can be himself and real. Above all he has to be honest and reliable I enjoy doing many things, from dinner to sports activities. I love water sports and would like to learn how to golf, maybe we can exchange lessons because I suck in golf. Weekend getaways are fun with the right person. I'm pretty spontaneous and don't mind last minute plans at times. Cooking is a fun thing to do together. What I value most in life is honesty and reliability... I think I have a very analytical, creative, and very clever and inquisitive mind, I have to understand everything so I can rest. I am amiable with people but my standards are high and I do not tolerate stupidity, very patient and firm believer of second chances
I would prefer to date the same age guy as I feel very young still, physically and emotionally and enjoy the company of passionate and enthusiastic guys.
And for the first time in my life I might like a trip to the mountains...

Meet a soulmate from Toronto, Canada. It's taken a while. Saying it out loud -- even in my mind -- feels kind of 'weak' kind of definitely not me. I've never been one of those girls that always had to have a boyfriend hanging off her arm. Happily single or dating for many years.
Then, something happened. My life shifted. Deep down I know that I do not want to live my life alone. I want to share and grow with someone who loves me and loves being with me.
Some things about me:
I love to be active and fit, but am not obsessed with exercise. I'm a city girl, but love to spend some time in nature. I have a great group of friends and lots to do, but it's not the same without that special person. There is so much to say, and really, I'm much better telling you about 'me' in person.
We all have fears and insecurities. We can work around it.
Take a chance!
Be who you are. No lies. No games.
Only one thing really, truly matters: CHARACTER Be willing to commit.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in out-of-country or out-of-province contacts. Oh, and 'winks' are lame. Send me an email :-)
Good luck everyone in your search!!

Date a woman from Ontario, Canada. I have an easygoing attitude, a balanced lifestyle and a curious mind. I'm into the arts - love music, concerts, theatre, film and photography. I also enjoy intelligent conversation, humour, yoga (new) and more. I have a great job that challenges me. I'm fortunate and I'm grateful. I am also really good at being real, being kind and being compassionate.
You are single, you live or work in Toronto; preferably the west end. No interest in long distance love affairs. Please be 50 . I'm really flattered, but we'd have little in common otherwise.
Like me, you seek a relationship that works on the psychological, emotional, physical and intellectual levels. You know that chemistry is about psychology and the mind as much as the physical.
If I don't respond to a message it may be that I have something... or someone else in mind.

Meet someone special from Ontario, Canada. I'm a happy person, life-experienced and hopefully well adjusted! I enjoy life at home, reading, yoga and creative writing as well as live music and travel, usually combined. (CropOver Barbados, Carnivale Tobago, Festival d'ete du Quebec, Ottawa Bluesfest, Byron Bay Bluesfestival))
I would like to find a partner who is positive and well grounded. A man with integrity and purpose. I have been through quite a lot in my life, so I hope you are understanding and have the same depth to your personality as I do. I love to laugh, so if you have a quick wit and broad sense of humour, I'm already smiling!
Please note that if your age preference doesn't reach up to 50, (or reaches down below 40), I won't respond... there is no point....the clock only goes forward!
**Sorry for not responding to emails - I had taken a 'break' from my search...a little disheartened by some of the responses. I will be very blunt - I am looking for a partner, not just sex. Sex will only happen when I am in a monogamous relationship. Too many men use the # of dates to determine when we should become intimate. I do not have sex with the men I am 'dating'. If you have a problem with this, we are not meant to be.

I love the outdoors ..Running, Biking, Swimming, Kayaking Stand up paddle board

I enjoy reading both for pleasure as well as informative .
I am looking for some one to Enjoy Life with ..

. I am happy in my skin. I am an artist as well as a therapist-- I am a serious person who enjoys life spontaneously. I'm looking for a man who is LOCAL. There is a reason I live in Toronto, and I would want a partner to be smitten or at least happily resigned to Toronto life style. I just left a job of 13 years where I commuted an hour outside the city.

. I am a warm, generous, independent and loving person with a circle of friends I've known for over twenty years. I appreciate the beauty in nature, people, art and like creating beauty around me. I've been successfully self-employed for over twenty years and have been involved in social justice work. My spirituality is central to my well-being - I draw from many traditions and would like a companion that is also interested in a spiritual path. I'm looking for a man who is genuine, able to give and receive, able to be physically affectionate, emotionally aware and responsive, and able to communicate through challenging times.

. Hey ho. Like most people I find this self-description stuff somewhat challenging. I guess I'll just try to be honest and see where that gets me.
If you're like most of us humans you'll probably focus on the photos and move on to the next candidate. Unfortunate, but true. If, however, you are still reading, please know that I am a very sweet and kind woman with a fair bit of intelligence and talent thrown in for good measure. I'll try pretty much anything once and still have a very long list to go through. However, I do like someone else to take the lead and will generally follow if it's not too dangerous.
My house is not perfect and I don't really want it to be, my dishes aren't always done and my nails are rarely manicured. My paintings are on the walls and you'll often hear me belting out a song I'm learning for choir or just making up for fun. I'm slowly teaching myself to play guitar, piano and one day I'd like to try the banjo. I think I missed my calling which would have been music teacher and conductor but I'm trying to make up for that now. Sometimes I dance around like a bit of a goof---I use to be a figure skater and even a puppeteer on Broadway. I'm a good listener, a decent cook, a great cuddler, a patient parent and teacher.
Children make me smile, but then again so do old people. So do animals and flowers and music and storms and bicycling and hiking and..... I guess I smile alot.
Seriously though, I'm easy going and not into melodrama. Life's too short......Just like a roll of toilet paper... the closer you get to the end...the faster it seems to go....so, I'm trying to keep my eyes wide and not miss anything.
I would like a companion who loves nature and music and has a quirky sense of humour. If you have an accent, a motorcycle, a horse or an asparagus farm(kidding).....all the better. :)

. I feel like someone who's been fortunate enough to have had a great life so far despite all the ups and downs it throws at you. You learn from that. Love comes in many forms and you really appreciate it when you lose family and friends. Maybe growing up in a big Irish Catholic family (and having the best childhood ever) gives you a good base to live the rest of your life. So you get on with life and savour every moment.
I grew up in a house full of books and I think we had every National Geographic and Time Life book ever published. But we learned how to paddle a canoe, catch the bait, hit a tennis ball, skate on the backyard rink and played a lot of badminton over the clothes line. I had to go to an all girls convent school so played Romeo in Romeo and Juliet (really) and played on the hockey team (but terrible at it).
I really enjoy getting to know people and what they've experienced and most importantly how they feel about it. I'm always surprised to find people are completely different than what my first impressions were. You never know until you listen.
On the physical front I did a lot of research on foods and lifestyle when my sister was diagnosed with cancer. I just listed out all the foods I love (most things) and parked them into 2 lists of good for me or bad. I also started doing weights a long time ago and it turns out it's the best thing ever to keep in shape and stop the aging process. Who knew. Not a fanatic as I fit it in where I can. Only one weakness...peanut M&M's. Maybe it's because they're crunchy and soft, salty and sweet all at the same time. So your mother was right. Exercise and eat your vegetables but don't forget the chocolate.
I work in real estate development for a small company so it can get stressful and busy at times but it's so interesting and we do have a lot of fun so it's a trade off. My commute is now10-15 minutes by car (and that's rush hour) after years of 407/401 for 3 hours a day. See I'm learning...

. I currently have a very slow personal social life and would like to change it.
Looking for someone to spend time with. We could go for walks, movie, drinks or just hang out.
I spend a lot of time working and I don't do enough for me. I would like to add some fun to my life.
